What is the meaning of the name Badon ?

Badon is English in Origin.

A rare given name with Brittonic roots, Badon is best known from early medieval sources that mention the Battle of Badon (Latin Mons Badonicus), a pivotal victory in the post-Roman Britons’ lore and later Arthurian tradition. The underlying toponym Badon is Celtic and debated; some scholars link it to the spa town of Bath (Aquae Sulis), while others derive it from a Brittonic element for "boar" plus a place-forming suffix, yielding a sense like "boar hill/fort."

Modern use as a forename is very uncommon and often inspired by history, legend, or adoption of the French/Breton surname Badon. It overlaps with the more familiar Baden and French Badin ("playful") as near-variants; related spellings sometimes seen include Baddon and Badan. The name reads as masculine in most records but can be unisex today. Nicknames include Bae and Don; the meaning remains "uncertain Celtic place-name."
